Hello all--can you believe it is already Monday. This week is jammed packed for me. A lot going on at work with a big trade show in Vegas next week and my big move all of four miles from where I live now.
I have been packing all weekend and have come to the conclusion that I have way to much of everything--scrap stuff, wine, ties, shoes, suites, CLOTHES! I have also been getting rid of a lot of stuff but good lord have I collected a ton of stuff.
On to the project. I made this card using two Pink by Design stamp sets--one is a retail exclusive and the other a classic back ground.

The background is the Wired Background that I thought looked a bit like a honey comb. I used CTMH solid Creme Brulee paper and ink (no embossing shocker I know) for the base, Colonial White cream, and Topiary green paper. The patter is from K&Company stack I got a Michael's for $1.99. Got to love a deal.

Here is a close up of the layers. I used chalk in on all the edges in the same color to give it an earthy brown ground. I also put pop dots under the large cream section and the solid green section to give a bit of a 3D effect.

I took some of the scraps and finished off the inside. This is a great gender neutral card so if you need something of a man--you could lift this one to great success.
Thanks for stopping by today and I love hearing your feed back. This month is crazy and I am so thankful that you all stick with me and through all my crazy travels and life goings ons!
Make it a great one
